Greatbow Doyen

The Elf Archer tribe is built around defensive math: high toughness, low power, bodies that block and ping rather than attack. This lord inverts the conventional reading of that math by mirroring every point of damage your Archers inflict on a creature straight to that creature's controller. The pump is ordinary anthem work, raising your other Archers a notch. The redirect is the ability that reframes the archetype, converting a board of stationary defenders into a clock. An Archer that deals four to a blocker also deals four to the face, so the wall you built to stall instead drains the opponent every time it connects. It scales in two directions at once: more Archers means more triggers, bigger Archers means bigger redirected hits, and any effect that lets an Archer deal damage to a creature outside combat (a pinger's tap ability, for instance) carries the same opponent-facing rider. The constraint that keeps it from running away is the wording itself: the damage has to land on a creature first, so the redirect never fires against an empty board or an unblocked attacker. Commit fully to the type line and the tribe's natural patience becomes reach it otherwise lacks.
